why does it seem like everytime I want a game, I
just missed the sale?

I don't read my email every day so I tend to miss a lot (and I sometimes worry the automated emails might wind up in the spam folder too)... I actually use the steam tweets forwarded to my phone method.

Sometimes it's a bit annoying when they update like 5 things in a row, but at least I'm aware of every sale.

I usually only buy games after making sure I like them and after longing for them a lot. But if you're used to wait 6 months to 2 years to buy a game, like me. That's nothing.

L4D2 goes on sale so frequently.

Try be me and not buy Skyrim because I'm waiting for GotY.Then hold until the game gets a -66%.Then just don't buy it anymore because, when I think rationally, Skyrim isn't even that fun because the game mechanics are simplified, and the world is likely recycled a lot like Oblvion was: like many people have admited after all the initial excitement impressions.

I still enjoyed Skyrim enough to put almost 250 hours into it.. and that's without extensive modding and no DLC. I guess it varies per person. Usually by the time they've released the DLC I'm bored of the game though.
